Autism Friendly Swim – April 27th, Sponsored by The Iowa City Autism Community

Posted on by

Autism Friendly Swim Event at the CRWC

The pool will be reserved for our group and closed to the general public. This event is sponsored by the Iowa City Autism Community and offered at a discount.

Family locker rooms are available for those who need it. If you do not need family locker rooms (i.e. caregiver and all people needing assistance are of the same gender), please use regular locker rooms, as the family locker rooms get congested.

Tickets ($3.00 per participant) are required for those aged 3y and older who plan to enter the pool.

Purchase tickets HERE.

PLEASE let me know if you can no longer make it so I can make your spots available to another family. Email iowadina@yahoo.com with any questions.
